The Man I Love

I know I post a lot about Grant maybe a little too much but I know one day I will look back on these and be so grateful that I wrote all of this down. I love Grant he is one of the funniest persons that I have ever met in my life. So funny thing about Grant he absolutely hates when people touch his ears, apparently they are really sensitive or so he says. He works so hard! He would spend all night planting beets and then get up at 6 a.m. and go to work. Grant loves back massages! He always opens the door for me. He loves guns but all he shoots are little animals. He cooks more than I do which is not a lot but still. He owns about a million Fox, Hurley, etc. shirts and he wears maybe 10 of them, the rest are now in 3 storage boxes. He has a ton of shoes, again I have only ever seen him wear his boots and his Nike's. His favorite tie is this yellow one that I don't like so much haha. He is a wonderful and happy morning person. I have only seen him wear shorts 3 times, twice in his swim shorts, and one time when he played basketball with my family. He is romantic deep, deep, deep down. I could go on and on and on about Grant but I will stop now before I bore you to death!

Easter

 Zebra Egg or I tried to do a zebra egg

 I heart Grant

A tie on his egg

This weekend was pretty great. We decorated Easter eggs and I had to decorate one for Grant of course since he is practically one of the family. Well this weekend it got me to thinking of what I did last Easter. I got up went to church then Grant and I went to his Aunt Kay's house for dinner with Grant's family, then we came home to my house and had a little dinner with my family and played outside with my little brothers. It's crazy once they are gone you realize how much you actually miss them and spending time with them. You think going on a date with your boyfriend is not big deal but when they are gone you wonder what it was like to even date them...ya seriously. I honestly think I have forgotten how to date...I do date when I get asked {which is not very often} for some reason the thought of dating a girl with a boyfriend on a mission is not that appealing huh go figure. Sometimes you miss them so much! Then you get to email chatting on Monday and realize that this is still the same boy that I love and drives you CRAZY which he does quite well. Even in California he seems to ramble on about sugar beets and I live on a cattle ranch which FYI I barely know what a sugar beet looks like, ha when he was home we would talk every night on the phone and I would fall asleep every time that seemed to really drive him crazy, it drives him crazy that I never answer my phone, it drives him crazy that I wear flip flops practically all year round except if there is snow on the ground. It drives him crazy that all I do is sports, he hates my lists my endless lists of thing that matter and even things that don't, my zebra obsession I think he puts up with but still drives him crazy. Okay so we drive each other crazy, and we rarely ever agree on anything it takes us all day to choose where we are going for dinner, and yes we have had an ACTUAL fight with yelling and all that but I think that is what makes our relationship real, we understand that we aren't going to agree with each other all the time, we know we fight a lot {mostly love fights}, and he does things that make me crazy but I love him and all the crazy things about him. I love that no matter how mad, grumpy, or tired he is he tells me that he loves me, I love that the dork remembers the exact outfit I was wearing the day we met, I love that he is my farmboy even though it is not exactly "cool" to some of you, I love that he lets me drive his truck {even though he would hate it if any of his friends or father knew}, I love that one time he jammed out to Hannah Montana music with me, I love that he lets me eat all the popcorn at the movies and never complains, I love that he protects me even when I don't need protecting, I just love him period through all the stupid stuff I love him. Grant has a huge heart and cares so much about people, he is a teddy bear inside and tries to hide it, he is passionate about everything he does and give 100% in everything he does. I love him! And I kind of miss him that is why this Easter post turned into a Grant post oh well!

Twin Falls Temple

So this weekend I got my Young Woman award thing {i'm not even sure what it is called}. Well I finished personal progress in February so our stake does a dinner in Declo for all the girls that finished. Well for finishing we get a temple picture of our choice and I chose.....Twin Falls. I really love the Logan temple that is the one my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents went through but Grant insists that we are getting married in Twin Falls and to be honest I don't really care where we get married...so not normal for most girls right? But it isn't a huge deal to me and the Twin has some sentimental value to us. We both participated in the YCC {youth cultural celebration}, Grant went through the Twin for the 1st time and was endowed, and about a week before he left we went and did baptisms for the dead {my first time EVER}! He got to baptize me and I was his first baptism so that is pretty neat. So I got my picture and I had to put it up in my room and I have all these cute decorations and photos {all of Grant and I} so it kind of looks like a shrine to Grant but it's just a little decoration and I really like it and LOVE my temple picture. 

March Update

So March has been one wild month for me and for my missionary lover. This month Grant was made the District Leader!!!! of the Stevenson Ranch are {yes it is really the stevenson ranch area} He got a new companion Elder Yovanno or something like that. He is still in Valencia enjoying himself {not really but kind of} I was in a play {that was horrible} I have been tracking it up like a boss {NOT} right now i'm on spring break and I have done nothing because there is nothing to do. And I have been rambling so here are some pictures of my sexy missionary. Okay and lately I have been contemplating a little video blogging but I feel retarded on camera {because I am} So I will show you this QUICK video I sent to Grant to prove how retarded I really am! Ha so here is proof that I am mmm special haha enjoy!

One day in the near Future

 the kitchen with industrial size fridge

 walk in closet a MUST

 outside

 baby girl 

 comfy leather furniture

love this except rustic wood and two washer/dryer sets

Okay so this post is for no reason other than it is for Grant, why it is full of house pictures you ask? Grant and I are obsessed with building our dream home we have been since we started dating. Yes serious, we would send pictures back and forth of random things that we liked and we wanted in our house. Well now that he is on a mission it is a little bit harder to do that. I mean I cant just send him 20 pictures to his email he has more important things to do than download those pictures, I am not printing them off and sending them, so I making a blog post of my future home ideas, mostly for him, and I guess for you who are reading this if you are bored you can browse my ideas. So here they are. So I look a little snobby but it won't be this nice just similar, I am still in search for the perfect living room picture, but it will be open to bedrooms above, with a river rock fireplace, and hardwood floors, okay maybe I am reaching for the stars a little bit but what girl doesn't plan her  dream home? :)

I post too much it seems but quotes are my thing! These are more geared towards missionaries and some I just enjoy

New Attitude!

So today had its ups and downs but overall I can't complain, yes I had to go to school, yes it's daylight savings, yes I'm grumpy, yes I was at play practice for 3 hours tonight, so I didn't get to email chat with Grant, but I did get to spend the day with my amazing friends, I was inspired in seminary, I took my senior pictures and was almost chased by a skunk,I slept through some of play practice, I came home to an email from my amazing boyfriend, I have my family who loves me, Grant loves me, his family loves me, my friends love me, and my heavenly father loves me! All in all I have a lot to be grateful for! My goal since New Years has been to look hard to find all the positive in a day full of negative! So if you want to be inspired too loon up Stephanie Nielson's mormom message! It is amazing I would put a link but my iPod doesnt do that? I don't think so anyway!
